Last Sunday the Danish Academy had the awards ceremony and winners are in *BLUE. As winners in world awards have started to be announced it has become clear that whoever person or group chose the film to submit to Oscar did not took much into account what was the best film in the country as awards are given to films that were not submitted. The Danish Academy is no exception as top award didn't go to acclaimed Hævnen (In a Better World) -that wasn't even nominated- but to R who dominated edition with eight top awards.

To check winners in all categories at the Academy site go here and here, available only in Danish; to check them in English go here.

The Danish Film Academy recently started to announce the nominees for current year awards and as film feature nominations were announced here they are.

Nominations in all categories will be published soon at the Academy official site here, but for now please read the announcement here. The Robert awards ceremony will take place in Copenhagen on February 6, 2011.

It’s remarkable that Danish submission to Oscar, Hævnen by Susanne Bier got no nomination for best film, still Bier is the only woman nominated in the Best Director category and film main actors also god nods. Been delaying watching Submarino as imagine that will be not so-easy to watch, but will watch soon as got 19 nominations followed by Nikolaj Arcel’s Truth about Men with twelve and Nicolas Winding Refn’s Valhalla Rising with nine. To be honest most films call my attention but all, except the comedies, seem that will not be easy to watch them.
